Dear The Main Mask, could you please check in your collection if you have a good quality image of this photo. It often was used on Wryton bills/posters from the late 1970s. Thanks.
The Ost thank you for sharing, appreciate. Robinson was a champion boxer belt, they still own it. Very interesting about Johnny Saint and Marty Jones never seen a pic of them with the Belle Vue Cup.
